Pita Chips with Hummus

Cheaper and better than a bag, and done before the hummus is out of the fridge. Watch them closely: in a hot oven they go from golden to dark quickly.

Time
15 minutes
Serves
4
Made with
White Pocket Pita
Soft pita wedges beside a bowl of red pepper dip, with limes

Ingredients

  • 4 Cham Bakery white pocket pitas
  • 3 tablespoons light olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Paprika or Zaatar to sprinkle, if you like
  • 1 1/2 cups hummus, to serve

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Cut each pita into 8 triangles. For thinner, crisper chips, pull each triangle apart into two layers.
  3. Toss the triangles with the olive oil and salt and spread them out in one layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for about 4 minutes, until crisp and golden. Give them another minute or two if they still bend.
  5. Sprinkle with paprika or zaatar, let them cool for a minute, and serve them with the hummus.

A tip from our kitchen: Cooled chips keep crisp for a few days in an airtight tin.
